Have been training well, love the Sunday brick of up hill ride, then intervals, then run up that same hill. Am clocking 600-700 minutes of training a week, lots of strengthening, even did abs for a whole week, ok, yep, only one week, will do them again this week.... and I would have never ever thought, but this year I am actually running LESS slow than last year. I thought I had only one pace and that it was never gonna speed up, but 2 1/2 years later of disciplined running and I am a tiny bit faster. YEAH!!!
Had a female set back this week, a horrid colscopy with a medieval gynecologist and that left me bleeding three days, so I didn't train. But back on track and loving every minute.
